The title of this column is Mindful Money, but
it's not really about the money. Let me explain.
Money is not the goal. Money is only the means to the
goal, whatever that goal might be for you. I do not think
many of us are yearning to spend quality time with hundred-
dollar bills. Money by itself will not necessarily bring us
more happiness or fulfillment. It is what we choose to do
with our money that ultimately improves our lives.
I am sure you know someone who has plenty of money and
yet does not seem very happy. Why do you think this is? I think
it is because they made money their goal without stopping
to consider what truly lights them up. Perhaps they let their
desire for money come between them and important people in
their life, or they let work block them from getting to know
themselves better. Sometimes, when money is the only goal,
people get caught in a thought cycle in which they can never
have enough, and the constant worry and striving takes its toll.
